Title: home meat coolers/cool bot?
Post by: kalamasasquatch on July 04, 2011, 02:12:47 AM: Has anyone used one of these for their home meat coolers? I wanna build my own cooler here at the house and think that if these are what they claim then that would be the ticket. Any ideas?

:yeah:
I've been thinking about extending my pumphouse by an additional 10x14' to make a walk in cooler/freezer. This thing might be the ticket for the cooler part.

Than shuts down before the ac ices over. Great lil units. Spendy though. The thermostat I mentioned can be found on ebay for fairly cheap. There are videos on youtube showing how to wire it. Real easy!!
